Class Summary

CGI	The class CGI provides a convenient way to post parameters to a web-based CGI script.
ChatServer	ChatServer implements a server that handles chat messages that are broadcasted among the active connections to the server.

JMessenger	JMessenger provides a simple GUI messenger for a direct peer-to-peer connection that uses one side as the server.
JNetProperties	provides a form to edit Java network properties
JSpider	a Swing based GUI that uses functionality of the Spider class and uses a default SampleCrawlerSetting instance if no other CrawlerSetting is specified.
JURLCachePane	A JEditorPane that can take advantage of a URLCache.
JWebBrowser	A very plain Web Browser with minimal functionality; but still cool.
LocalWeb	LocalWeb represents a website based on the local file system.
MediaCrawler	MediaCrawler is a single thread that searches the web for files that are of a given type.
MessageDelegator	MessageDelegator listens for incoming messages on the given connection and delegates the message to the handler - once its run() method is called.
NetConnectionAdapter
NetConnectionServer	A NetConnectionServer - once run() is called - listens to incoming requests from NetConnection objects with a signature provided by the ConnectionDispatcher.
NetConnectionServer.DefaultDispatcher	The DefaultDispatcher provides a default ConnectionDispatcher that is used when the NetConnectionServer constructor in the enclosing class is called with a NetConnectionHandler
RSSChannel	represents a channel in the RSS format created by an RSSHandler
RSSHandler	handles RSS data feeds in XML.
RSSItem	represents an item in an RSS feed
RSSMenu	a menu for an RSS feed
SampleCrawlerSetting	SampleCrawlerSetting is what it's named: a sample CrawlerSetting.

Spider.URLWrapper	wrappes a java.net.URL and keeps a reference to its referer
SSLSocketConnection	An SSLSocketConnection provides simplified access to a remote process through an SSLSocket connection.
URLCache	A wrapper around java.net.URL that caches a copy of the content and adds some additional functionality designed for HTML pages.
URLNode	URLNode wrapps a URL and places it into a URLTree, which determines how the URLNode calculates its children.

Package com.antelmann.net Description

The classes in this package are designed to provide convenient access to Internet related functionality.

The package includes a generic multi-threaded network server implementation that can be highly customized using the interfaces also included in this package. Sending and receiving messages in client/server applications is greatly simplified over the java.net functionality when using a simple NetConnection object from this package (sample implementations of the interface are of course included).

A reference implementation for the provided interfaces includes a simple java chat client program (including a GUI wrapper) along with the chat server implementation.

Further functionality from this package include functions for easy-to-use web-crawling, and HTML-parsing, a class for accessing cached URLs and a CGI bridge (enabling you to easily post parameters to a script).

Finally, there is a complete web browser implementation included.
